The hand that scattered gold across the night
placed, in her eyes, two gemstones shining bright
and, taking tincture from the setting sun,
made her lips glow that same flaming crimson;
plucking only the purest and most fair
of summer rays it made her golden hair.
Sadly she loves a rugby playing twit
because, in her own words, he is ‘Well fit’.

Just wanted to add my applause really. Very clever play on romantic poetry, the final couplet is great and feels like a slap in the face to stop someone mooning over a beauty out of reach.

That was written from the heart!! How many of us have lusted after a beauty, only to discover that her beauty is only skin-deep? :-) Loved the poem!

Thanks, insert, MS, Walrus, Constance,Tony,galeforce, alex, Rich, Hip Priest and Bryan. It's based on my experiences in School/University. The old fashioned, romantic illusions of a teenage boy/young man dispelled by meeting real, young, modern girls/women. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks also for the golden cherries. They're much appreciated.

Oh look, a link. I wonder where it leads.
